BEVERLY HILLS, Calif., Feb. 15 (UPI) -- Hip-hop producer Marion "Suge" Knight returned home Tuesday after a short stay in a California prison, MTV.com reported.
Last week, the chief executive and co-founder of Tha Row Records (formerly Death Row Records) was arrested in Barstow, Calif., after police found marijuana in his truck during a traffic stop.
He was booked on charges of violating his parole and cited for cited for making an unsafe U-turn and not having insurance.
Knight served five years starting in 1996 after he assaulted a man in a Las Vegas hotel just hours before rap star Tupac Shakur was gunned down. The attack violated Knight's state probation on his conviction for attacking two rappers at a recording studio in 1992, as well as his probation in a federal case in which he pleaded no contest in 1995 to trafficking firearms.
More recently, he served another 10 months for violating his parole after striking a Hollywood nightclub valet.
Knight's family took him to his Beverly Hills home where he will serve out the remainder of his parole under constant electronic monitoring by California authorities.
